I think the important thing is the policies are gone. Clearly this is not what they desired, but they realized that the market would not buy what they were selling, and they changed it. I don't really need our desires to be aligned, I need them to cater to my desires if they want my money, and they seem to be doing that. I'm not looking for a soulmate here, I'm looking for a game console. Microsoft's "desires" are quite irrelevant to me so long as they make good games and don't put unwanted restrictions on them


That's one way too look at it, and while I disagree with you, I respect your opinion. Those polices could be short term - a bandaid - in the sense that they were only done to please people in the short run before reverting to their original agenda.  And their desires are not irrelevant, otherwise people would not have made such a fuss over their policies.
